mama’s greatest gift!
Mama received the gift my Ate Lhei sent her for X’mas.. it was a bracelet made of gold she bought in Dubai..not so sure about the brand basta bracelet sya..it was nice,beautifully crafted with art…bumanat pa ako kay mama I told her: “ay napanis yung gift ko,,kabog ah..hahaha.. I was laughing pa that time kasi nag-twi2nkle mata nya sa tuwa,,but.. i thought it was for the Gold bracelet that she received from my sister..it was not pala..she was looking into somethinng that time..
she was stunned with this something in the box ..it has a Xmas tone, the color is glittery white with a red accent around the neck..when i saw it.. it was a small bear..a cute little bear that when you press the portion of his heart you will hear a xmas jingle..sabi ko kay mama..” asus yan lang naman pala..gusto mo..ang dami sa palengke nya..haha”..but i was touched how she put her focus on the bear and not on the expensive bracelet she received..
Had you seen the thought of it…hai.. I really now believe that GIFTS are best received and appreciated in it’s simplest manner..
i loved this quote that was sent to me last time..very true..it’s something like this,,
” I used to think that God’s GIFTS were on shelves one above another. And the older we get and the taller we grow, the easier we can reach them. Now, I find that God’s GIFTS are on shelves ONE beneath another, and the LOWER WE STOOP, the MORE WE GET. It is the good deeds we do, the kind words we speak, the love we give, and the humility we show that help us stoop down to find our real treasures..”..
very simple and true..now i realized why mama find the bear more heart-felt to receive than the bracelet..it serves as a “love connection” between her and my ate from Dubai who’s away with us right now for Xmas..and every time she holds the bear and hears the sound of it..she always feel how she was greatefully loved by us and by my Ate Lhei especially…i realized,,every time I see my mommy alive and happy it always feels like Xmas.
